    It appears Apricot Vista will be the next release in the Noble Star Collection. It indicates it's being bottled in December on the label, so with bottle conditioning time, I assume this will get released the first part of 2016. Stoked and hope it's just as good as Starkeller!

    Psyched! Hopefully as they expand and get the newly restored cypress tanks they package these in more than just the $15 hand bottled corked and caged 750mls.

    I was able to try the unfinished version of this in October at where the wild beers are and it was fantastic. I imagine the added time aged on fruit would make it even better

    I bet this is going to be killer! Starkeller was so good, I would imagine this will be right up there. Keep up the good work August Schell!

    Can't wait to try this one. What is the base beer?

    Apparent horizon is the base for apricot Vista.

    They are also sitting on the boysenberry one hoping the tartness mellows out.

    Any word on the Iowa distribution of this series?! In Eastern Iowa I haven't even seen the last release yet.

    From what I was told the apricot vista is currently bottle conditioning. I expect it should be out soon

    I'm not sure that Apparent horizon is the base beer for Vista, there isn't anything about Rye in the description. I think the base beer is Orbital drift which hasn't been released yet. It matches the description anyways.

    The base has Apparent Horizon, but it is a blend. We'll do sensory on all the batches in two weeks, and it's it's good to go, start shipping. Orbital Drift, Tidal Disruptions, and others we are going to release when we open up the Starkeller.

    Shooting for the weekend of May 1st- that's the 80th anniversary of when we bought the tanks. Seems like a fitting date

    Dammit. Not there's any such thing as a good time for it to happen, but Nebraska really lost Schell's at the worst possible time. Six months or so until some sort of "Don't call it a comeback" gag?

    Apricot Vista will probably be a challenge but let me know what you're on the lookout for in the meantime Josh.
